Good point. I would say it is not surprising that people remain interested in the genres they loved as kids. The whole idea that certain genres corresponds to certain ages might be a misunderstanding of demographics - it is more likely that genres follow generations. Like how punk rock was considered only for teenagers, but when those teenagers grew older they continued to like punk rock, while new generations of teenagers like other genres. Superheros might be dumb (with the odd flashes of brilliance), but they are not really dumber than James Bond or westerns or Agatha Christie or whatever escapistic genres have been popular. I also think Moore understands this pretty deeply (considering his deep dives into historical popular culture in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), but he just have some personal bitterness towards the superhero business, so he likes to disparage its fans.
